It is the responsibility of the customer to remain up to date with regard to system notices and schedules. This includes reading any and all mailings from Islandnet to our customers as well as monitoring the news & announcements forum on our helpdesk.

Islandnet reserves the right to revise or discontinue any or all pricing options, time packages, special discounts, or any other aspect of the service at its sole discretion and without prior notice.

No Islandnet account may be used to threaten, harass, or intimidate other people, companies, organizations, etc.

Islandnet reserves the right to choose which newsgroups are carried on its news server and which are not.

Islandnet is in no way responsible for monitoring the content of Usenet Newsgroups, nor is Islandnet responsible if the customer encounters articles he or she finds offensive. Where Islandnet is made aware of illegal materials, Islandnet may choose to remove them.

When sending email messages, the customer must refrain from activities such as forging headers and sending unsolicited email (commercial or otherwise), AKA "SPAM" or "UCE" or "UBE". Customers who send SPAM may be charged up to $500 in cleanup fees and they will lose their account(s).

If you operate any kind of mailing list at all, your signup process must include a confirmation mechanism to guarantee that subscribers were not signed up by someone else.

Newsgroup or email abuses originating from a non Islandnet account will be treated as if they originated from the customer's Islandnet account when the article or email message in question contains any references whatsoever to an Islandnet hosted web site, FTP site, email address, etc. BEWARE OF INTERNET MARKETING FIRMS OFFERING TO EMAIL YOUR AD TO "TARGETED" RECIPIENTS.

Publically accessible files in a customer's account(s) may not contain any materials that Islandnet deems inappropriate. This includes, but is not limited to, "adult content", hate literature, copyright violations, etc.

An account may not house web pages for any other person or organization other than the person or organization who owns the account. This includes, but is not limited to, CGI scripts and images.

An Islandnet account may not be used to promote or house data for a competing service (ie: an access of web hosting provider).

It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that their overall disk usage is within the bounds associated with their account. Periodic examination of disk space usage may generate an emailed request to remove files or upgrade to a new option with larger disk limits, in which case the customer must comply immediately.

It is the customer's responsibility to maintain backup copies of anything stored in their Islandnet account. We do perform regular tape backups of customer data, but we will not be liable for any loss of said data.

The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied. No advice or information given by Islandnet or its employees shall create a warranty.

Islandnet's failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any term or condition in this policy shall not be construed as a waiver of any term or condition or right.
